“I want to love my neighbor, but I don’t know how.” Most of us feel guilty about Christ’s command to love our neighbor, but let’s be honest—we don’t even know most of the people living around us.

Are we supposed to just knock on our neighbors’ doors and tell them about Jesus?

“They’ll think I’m weird.”

Amy Lively’s book, How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird, helps you overcome fears about getting to know your neighbors and sharing your faith. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to get to know your neighbors, using your God-given personality. As you venture out of the comfort of your living room and into the lives of your neighbors, you’ll form authentic friendships, create a safer community, and find fulfillment in obeying Christ’s #2 command.

His Glory, Her Story We are made in the image of God to reveal His glory through our stories. Understand how the Trinity of God—Father, Spirit and Son—is reflected in the trichotomy of man—heart, soul and strength—and how we can shine His love into our homes.
